CHICAGO Aug. 20.-The weeks tKading, that
has been marked by caution next to say
cowardice. closed on the Board of Trade to-day.
An explanation of this status of affairs is the
crowds lack of leaders, aud the absence of any
convincing arguments for either bears or bulls.
The wheat pit was extraordinarily dun all day,
very few outside orders were received, and local
fNrS lao mel
to look on and await developments. This
the character of the speculative market, the
pit being deserted most of the day. There were
orders here for considerable quantity of
spring wheat for export, but the scarcity of
vessel room prevented business. However,
$4,000 bushels was reported taken, and some
100000 bushels more, IL was rumored, had been
exchanged for September The market ruled
steady within ssc range, and closed about lao
14c lower than yesterday. Corn ruled easier,
with decidedly moderate trading, and the
market was governed almost entirely by local
operators. 4 certain prominent Chicago CAPT
talist made free offerings, and this created an
easier feeling. No new outside news of conSe-
ouence was brought to bear on the market. The
opening was about 1s6I4c under yesterday S
closing prices, was steady for time, then be-
came easier declining 1s@2Sc lower than yes
terday. In oats the demand was lnconsequen-
tial and arrivals continued heavy. weak
feeling prevailed. Cash and deferred futures
declined 1Ic and near futures went down sc.
In provisions trading was llghJ. ana the market
showed decreasing strength due to an easier
feeling in corn A slight advance in prices
gained Yesterday was lost there was no parti
cular pressure to SELL and the demand was
limited The longer deliveries were apparently
the weakest
